Trivia[]
- The backstory around Port Valdez from Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is very similar to that of Midnight Sun, as both involve invading forces landing on Alaskan soil to seize control of the pipelines.
- In the 16-player version, the Church and Gas Station control points, when under PLA control, will spawn the MEC version of the FAV instead of the PLA version.
